DEAR JANE JORDAN—For two years I have been go-
ing with a man of 44. I am. 27. I was married at 16
. to a man nearer my age, but I have been divorced for - five years. I love this man I am going with more than I thought it possible to love any man. He says that he loves me and shows it by his every action. We have planned to get married and I know we would be very happy. He says that he is afraid that in a few years I will grow tired of him and seek someone younger. I am old enough to know that I really love him. He is not a rich man; so it isn’t money. I really love him. I've had my share of sorrow and misery.. He has helped me to know so much happiness in these two years that I can almost forget the heartaches I've had. Surely it isn’t impossible for us to be happy even with the differences in our ages. How can I convince him that I will always stay with him? JEAN, ANSWER—In order to make a good answer to your question I would have to know much more about the man than your letter tells me. All I know is that he is 44, something of a doubting Thomas, and that he has made you very happy. The thing we need to know is: Are his doubts real or neurotic; in other words, are they factual or foolish? Of course there is always some basis in fact for doubting that a marriage will succeed when the husband is 17 years older than the wife. The experience of the race is that marriages are more likely to be happy between partners near the same age. Like all generalizations, there are times when this one is wrong. Some women aré unable to love unless the man is enough older to suggest the father. This applies particularly to women who have been emotionally buffeted about and who have met with defeat at the hands of a younger man. Their wish is to recapture the paradise of childhood where the unwavering love of the father was the surést thing in the universe. If this requirement is met by an older man, it is quite possible for her to be happy with him in marriage, not in spite of, but because of their difference in age. As I have said before, I cannot tell you how to convince the man you want of the stability of your love because I do not know the origin of his doubts. Has he been married before? Has he ever been jilted or disappointed by a young lady? More significant than either of these two circumstances is the question of his mother. Was he an only child or a favorite child? Was he very much tied to the maternal apron strings? Is he still living at home with his mother either as her sole support or as a child who still receives financial aid? It is almost invariably true that a man who has remained too close to. his mother’s side is timid about marriage. Even after the mother has been dead for many years her image may remain enshrined in her son’s thoughts, and act as a barrier to marriage. The implications are that although the man is chronologically mature, he still holds to the emotional attitudes of childhood and is afraid to make the plunge which would place the responsibility for the family on him. These are the things which you and your lover need to discuss and understand in making your decision. Help him to find out whether or not his doubts are doubts of himself which he projected upon you. Many times secret doubts vanish when they receive a thorough airing. ~ JANE JORDAN.

Today’s Contract Problem South has the contract for four spades. Should he depend on the diamond finesse as his only hope of taking 10 tricks, losing one trick in each of the plain suits?

Solution to Previous Problem By WILLIAM E. M'KENNEY
American Bridge League Secretary
E Sennat vigilance is the price one pays for safety in bridge play, as in other things. It never pays to take anything for granted, and because South had learned this lesson thoroughly in the hard school of experience, he made a contract that others, who played less carefully, failed to fulfill.
As the cards lie, South can make three no trump exactly, losing only four diamonds, but the hand was played at duplicate and four in a major would produce the higher score unless four no trump could be made. North figured that his doubleton in clubs gave additional value in a possible ruff, while at no trump the diamond suit was wide open.

King Likes Onion Snack
Northern-Grown Product
Widely Used.
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer
The King of England, ‘tis said, relishes a snack of onion with a fitting: beverage before retiring at night. Such imperial recommendation should be accepted by thrifty housewives. The flavor value of onicas and their near kin is so high that dull foods leap to interest and familiar foods appear suddenly different when a discreet display of onions is made. The Northern- -grown onion is used most.
Onions Mild
Zermuda onions, which come also from Texas and California, are not generally large, but they are mild like the Spanish onion. And though there may be no kings in your family, these Bermuda-type onions are £1 for serving raw with cheese, in salads and sandwiches. Leeks are long and green and not strictly onions, but their magic in an Irish stew gives them place of honor in thrifty families. Scallions are for the appetizer tray all the way from January to June. Salads welcome them, too, and many a sandwich has improved with their agreeable strength. Shallois ~~~» a milder and smaller type of ‘green onion without the scallion’s
| bulb development.
Chives Inexpensive
Chives are no more than threads of onion, mild, helpful and inexpensive, if kept in a box of earth on the kitchen window. No experienced chef would think of living without them. Garlic! How many Americans shudder at the word. That’s a sad state of kitchen nerves which should be treated at once; treated, let’s say with a salad bowl rubbed first with garlic to give the salad subtlety of flavor or rubbed on a hot platter before the steak is broiled.
Officers Selected By Advance Club
New officers of the Woman's Advance Club are Mrs. George E. Smith, president; Mrs. H. C. Stringer, vice president; Mrs. W. E. Call, secretary, and Mrs. J. A. Hood, treasurer. Delegates to the Indianapolis Council of Women are Mrs. A. L. Kessler, with Mrs. Hood, alternate. Mrs. Fred B. Keuthan is to attend Seventh District Federation of Clubs’ meeting with Mrs. W. G. Boyd as alternate. Mrs. Roy E. Price is program chairman.
Mind Your Manners
Test your knowledge of correct social usages by answer=ing the following questions, then checking against the authoritative answers below: 1. If a sorority is giving corsages to honored guests, is it necessary to give one to the housemother, too? 2. In a college dining hall is it necessary to wait for the housemother to go into the dining room first? 3. At a sorority dinner, who is the first to leave the dining room? 4. Do the biology and premedic courses make good topics for table conversation? 5. If a man asked for a date some time ahead, should he call the girl a day or two before the time specified and verify the engagement?
What would you do if—— You are a man escorting a girl and notice that her slip ‘is showing—— A Disregard it? B Say, ‘Mary, your slip is showing’? C Say, “Why don't you fix your slip?” » ” a Answers 1. Yes. 2. Yes, she usually walks with the house president. 3. Housemother. 4. Few appetites can survive them! 5, Yes,
Best “What Would You - Do?” solution—B. Any girl would rather be told than be embarrassed by finding it out later.

Nursery Schools Praised T As Aid to Timid Children
Young Mother Finds Own ’Fraidy Cat Daughter Bes came Well Poised After Mixing With Others.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON fa NN (auemy SCHOOLS, their advantages and disadvantages, were the topic of conversation not long ago among some young mothers at
a party.
Half a dozen young matrons shivered and declared they would feel they were farming out the baby. Then another young mother told her
story. It went something like this:
“I had to go out and get a job, you see, and there was no one but
Aunt Jessie to look after Patsy.
“Aunt Jessie is a dear, but she doesn't know a thing about children,
besides I knew that being shut in « the house all day with a stirring And it wasn’t fair to Patsy, either. The little thing gets along fine with Auntie, but I knew she'd miss me. “I thought it over night-and-day for weeks. to the nursery school, about six blocks from our flat, and looked it over. This one only ran afternoons.” Her intelligent eyes went over her audience and she drew a deep breath. “Well, I decided to send Patsy.” “What did they do?” they asked her. “Nothing and everything. Someway or other I got the impression that all our little children are falsely placed at home.
